The Institute of Public Administration (IPA) launched on Sunday 15\11\1436 H a set of training programs for the year 1436-1437 H. on MU main campus. The programs targeted MU affiliates and the governmental bodies located within the University geographical area. Under the directives of MU Rector, Dr. Khalid Al-Muqrin; and with the follow-up of MU Vice-Rector, Dr. Musallam Al-Dousari; an inspection visit was made by the General Supervisor of the General Department of Planning and Administrative Development, Dr. Tha’ar Al-Qahtani, to the training hall in order to check on the training facilities and trainees’ readiness for the programs. Dr. Qahtani emphasized the fact that MU administration is very keen on achieving its objectives through supporting and sponsoring such programs that contribute to the administrative development within the area. “Through these programs on campus, the University and the IPA are seeking to expand the span of people taking these courses by providing more training locations to those who can’t reach the Institute head office in Riyadh or other distant areas.” explained Dr. Qahatani. The general supervisor was accompanied in this visit by the Director of the Administration, Mr. Mohammed Madas; the Supervisor of the Training Unit, Mr. Badr Al-Harbi; and the Public Relations Officer, Mr. Nasser Al Aujan.
